KICKSTART THIS PROJECT!!!

WONDER WOMEN! THE UNTOLD STORY OF AMERICAN SUPERHEROINES (formerly THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE AS TOLD BY WONDER WOMAN) traces the fascinating evolution and legacy of Wonder Woman. From the birth of the comic book superheroine in the 1940s to the blockbusters of today, WONDER WOMEN! looks at how popular representations of powerful women often reflect society’s anxieties about women’s liberation.

WONDER WOMEN! goes behind the scenes with Lynda Carter, Lindsay Wagner, comic writers and artists, and real life superheroines such as Gloria Steinem, Shelby Knox and others who offer an enlightening and entertaining counterpoint to the male dominated superhero genre.

WONDER WOMEN! THE UNTOLD STORY OF AMERICAN SUPERHEROINES is funded in part by the California Council for the Humanities Documentary Project Fund, The Sundance InstituteThe Aepoch Fund, The Puffin Foundation, Chicken & Egg Pictures, and the Oakland Cultural Arts Fund and fiscally sponsored by the San Francisco Film Society. It was chosen for the 2010 IFP’s Independent Film Week Spotlight on Docs.
